If you get it plan on replacing at least the power supply, the motherboard and the cpu cooler.
Most likely not possible. This computer is proprietary power supply and motherboard. So most likely a GPU that has a max power draw of 75w is all this system could handle. It probably could handle a better cpu cooler.

"Proprietary" just means using a different configuration, but it's still the same 12v subsystem. You can buy 24pin standard ATX to 6-pin adapters for like $15 if you want to toss in a more powerful power supply which can also power any GPU you want. Otherwise, just toss in a slot-powered GPU (3050, A2000, etc.) which will be fed by the PCIE slot.
The only caution is that if you need to buy a PSU that physically fits in the case and an adapter, then you might be pushing yourself up into another pre-built price bracket that already has standard connectors.
Note that this is the normal every day price. It's always $360, Acer just jacked the price up to particpate in the BRANDS20 discount code. I looked at this a month ago at $360 and decided to not buy as the power supply doesn't have any connections for a graphics card.

It's definitely was not the every day price as I've been checking in every week for the last month & half or so and told myself I'd buy it when it hit $360, so I ordered it yesterday for my mother who's PC is having issues.
Maybe when you looked it happen to be $360, but it was definitely not the every day price.
